Does the offending process appear in Task Manager? Try sorting by CPU %age, setting it to a high update frequency and seeing what eats the CPU. If nothing is apparent try downloading the free 'Process Explorer' as it has a nice %CPU graph per process which is good for tracking down things like this.
